Eagle NebulaJekko
•67% Informative
NASA released a high-resolution version of the “Pillars of Creation ,” an iconic image originally captured by the Hubble Space Telescope on April 1, 1995 .
To celebrate its upcoming 25th anniversary in April , Hubble captured the pillars again in a sharper, wider image.
The Pillars are 6,500 light-years away from Earth , the Eagle Nebula ( AKA M16) is still close enough to view with the naked eye.
The pillars themselves are basically like little stellar nurseries, made up of hydrogen gas and dust.
In 1997 NASA ’s Spitzer Space Telescope captured an image of the pillars next to a giant, hot cloud of dust.
Astronomers began to speculate that a massive star exploded, somewhere around the upper-left corner of the image above.
The shock wave from this supernova would have traveled through the Eagle Nebula , heating up dust and toppling things over.
We won’t see drastic changes in the pillars for another 1,000 years .
